Questions people ask Q. Every year I have this problem on Mission Sunday. Who gave Christians or any other religion the right to impose their beliefs on other people? A. It was Jesus Christ who sent out his followers to proclaim his message by lifestyle and word to people of every nation and time. If your concern is about people’s rights, then remember that people have the right to know the truth about Jesus Christ who came to teach and save all people. Anybody who appreciates God’s love and mercy as revealed in Jesus Christ would want all people to share this belief and hope.

Earn Self-Esteem (Dr. Lynn Scoresby)
"You cannot give your child self-esteem. Your child’s self-esteem will not ‘grow in proportion to the attention or presents lavished on her,’ according to educational therapist Lawrence J. Greene in 1001 Ways to Improve Your Child’s Schoolwork. ‘She will have to earn her self-esteem by solving her own problems, overcoming challenges and dealing with setbacks and failures. She will earn it with her own hard work and perseverance. She will learn to appreciate herself as she develops her talents and experiences her power.’"
